You keep me looking ahead.
At least there’s always you 💕
I’m pretty positive that I have the best dog on the planet!
I took Venom to my client’s house to work on their dog’s reactivity and e-collar work. During the session I put Venon in the back of my SUV to work with my client and his dog one on one. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize when I closed the hatch that the door was locked… and suddenly both Venom and my keys were locked inside the back of my SUV...
I was really nervous and didn’t know what to do, but decided as a last effort before calling for help to have Venom retrieve my keys since he is task trained to do so as my service dog. It was a long shot as my key fob is small but I had to try. Not only did he manage to UNLOCK my car doors by pressing the fob, but he did so without destroying it… I’m so grateful for this amazing boy.
On the way home we were passing the beach and I couldn’t help myself because Venom deserved a reward for being so spectacular.
My babies ✨
He’s my best friend and the brightest part of my day. 🥰
Orion ✨ Blindside’s Amongst the Stars ✨ An absolute gift and treasure.

✨ Orion ✨ Blindside’s Amongst the Stars - The way you look at me fills me with joy. Thank you for every experience and opportunity you’ve given me so far and every one yet to come. I cannot wait to see what we accomplish together!
- To my breeder, : Thank you for taking a chance on me. I am so eager to make you proud because I am so grateful for the gift you’ve given me in Orion. I sleep better knowing he’s never going to break my heart the way Troy did… Thank you for this stunning little creature that *IMPROVES* my life day after day. 💕

Thank you for providing me with the sweetest pup I’ve ever known and for cheering us on as we do new and exciting things together. I can’t wait to get more photos like this one! 💕
Visiting our favorite and friendly neighborhood corner store 💕 - I’ve been super fatigued lately but we’ll get back to all our favorite things again soon! Baby dog’s first show is coming up and we are so excited and also so nervous!! We are both going to put in our best effort but most importantly we will be having an AWESOME time together. ✨
4 yrs old
Neutered
UTD on Vaccines
Backstory:
Kolibri’s family could not keep him, and rehomed him to someone who ended up dumping him. He was then brought to the shelter and since his microchip was still registered to the previous family they were called to pick him up. They could not keep him and mentioned they were considering euthanasia, not because he was a problem dog but because he was an inconvenience. We took Kolibri in to save his life but we are just the middle man. He needs his forever home!!

History:
Venus was a hurricane Ian rescue that came to me a year ago (Oct 2022). She was a little nippy and very scared when we first met, but mostly incredibly insecure. We spent the first 6 months with her working to conquer Dirty Dog Syndrome and submissive peeing. She has successfully overcome both and is now potty trained. She also struggled with cowering from human hands, and is nervous during storms (understandably).
In the year that she has been with me she has been trained off leash, learned basic leash manners, basic obedience, and has increased in her confidence.
She is crate trained, though sometimes barrier reactive. She struggles to leave the crate calmly, but is capable of self control if you hold her accountable. When she first arrived she had little food drive and no toy drive, but now she will work for both - though both drives still have room for even more building.
Venus is high energy and needs a very active home. She is able to settle with the family but ONLY once her physical and mental needs have been met. She is incredibly affectionate and considers even your eye contact with her a valuable and workable reward. She is very handler focused!!
Venus would do well in a home with one or two other dogs. She has had some run ins with the other bitch in my house - though she is capable of coexisting with her in wider and more open environments (my home is small.) She is well socialized and capable of coexisting with a variety of breeds and both genders. She’s an incredibly sweet dog!
She would go under contract so that I can continue to ensure her safety and well-being once placed. I want to watch her grow and succeed in capable hands!
Venom got his DCat today and I couldn’t be more proud!
Venom got his D Cat at 💕 I am so incredibly proud of him!
Did another hike this weekend but this time we were able to go with Orion’s Dad, brother, and breeder 💕

@shepherdslanternherding never ceases to amaze me with the awesomeness they’re able to bring out of my dog and myself. ✨ After training for roughly a •year• and building Orion’s confidence in the round pen he’s developing a great understanding of his job as a herding breed. I look forward to these trips weeks in advance if not simply for the pure JOY 🤩 it brings him. I love every moment, even when it’s blisteringly hot and I’ve had to abandon my shoes. 👟 #herding #dogtrainer #stcloud #sheepfarm #builttowork
A #Wild #BabyDog out here learning how to #Herd #sheep @shepherdslanternherding . We drive #4hours round trip for these #lessons but they’re very much worth it. #Orion has been coming to Leslie since he was about #9weeks old. He will be #ONE in just a couple of weeks and I’ve loved every minute building his #confidence and watching him #grow and have #fun with #livestock. We’ve got a few more sessions of confidence building before we transition to adding more structure surrounding this job but he’s made such #AWESOME #Progress!
Working on our handling skills at @uppersuncoastdogs in Clearwater! 💕 #AKC #conformation #miniamericanshepherd #handlingskills #dogtraining
It’s been a while since we’ve been hiking and it was much needed! Shout out to our awesome guest, Bear, for joining us and being so well behaved. 💕
Go outside and do something with your dogs 🐕 You’ll thank me later 😉 #trailing #hiking #dogs #malinois #miniamericanshepherd #pitty #purebred #mixedbreed #gooutside
We have so far to go, but everyone starts somewhere. Here’s some weave work, heel work, and some cruddy stacking. 😅 *DISCLAIMER* My 6 month old MAS is WEARING an e-collar receiver as we have begun e-collar conditioning. Neither the transmitter or receiver are powered on. To begin conditioning he will be wearing the e-collar receiver without any power for roughly a month before we move to phase two. The collar will go on when we go outside, do training, and play - to create a conditioned emotional response to wearing said collar!
